lyrics

The calendar still says July, a year ago today

That picture on my desktop, it just won't fade away

I tried to drag it to the bin, but something held my hand

Like looking at a ghost, it haunts this digital land

My screen glows in the dark

A silent, digital mark

That photograph, I can't delete

That photograph, I can't delete

It's burned into the pixels, oh so bittersweet

That photograph, I can't delete

It makes my memory repeat

That photograph, I can't delete

I see your smile, your favourite dress, the sunlight in your hair

The little cafe on the corner, just beyond compare

The coffee cup you held so tight, a simple, perfect scene

Now every time I boot my laptop, you're still on the screen

That photograph, I can't delete

That photograph, I can't delete

It's burned into the pixels, oh so bittersweet

That photograph, I can't delete

It makes my memory repeat

That photograph, I can't delete

I zoom in close, then pull away, a silent, endless fight

To banish you from sight, to dim that digital light

But there you are, a frozen moment, captured in the frame

A lovely, painful memory, whispering your name
That photograph, I can't delete — Grant Mbeki · FERAL
